Goldseeker5000 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I finally got out this past weekend for a gold hunt. The weather has really been messing with me, as far as being able to get up to where I hunt. I finally got to use my new 15" Evo and I have to say, I really like it. I was only detecting for 5 minutes when I got this nice sounding target, that had a double worble, and I knew it was a nugget. Weather was great Saturday, but Sunday morning it was raining with high winds. Then it started snowing, so I got the heck off of the mountain. I was told by a friend who lives down in the area to be careful because a 800-850 lb grizzly in the upper gulch where I camp and hunt has been very active trying to find food after winter. Luckily I have good camp prep habits with all food and trash put in cab of truck in ziplock bags. I only found the one nugget in the trip cut short, but I had a great time being back on the mountain.

IDMineralSurveys Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Your camp setup is more advanced than mine... may be why noone camps with me any longer? Nice to get a nugget even at that size. It's the experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldseeker5000 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 If you don't have a comfortable camp out detecting, it can make your entire detecting trip less successful. At least up in Montana. Just ask Oneguy. A good camp is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry in Idaho Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Any gold is better than no gold. The main thing is you got out to try the EVO on the 5K and found gold. Nice pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldseeker5000 Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Yah, that tiny dink was the very first target I got with that coil, first target of the season as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
